One reviewer has said: Great overall chair & least wide of the Tracer series product line: November 2, 2018 by S. Douglass (HI, United States) “I like the 9000SL because it is the least wide overall of those in the Invacare product line (compared to other chairs like the Tracer SX5 or EX2) with the same seat width. The shorter width really helps when you live in an older house whose doors are not as wide. I also like that it comes standard with the black Nylon upholstery which my Mom finds more comfortable than the Vinyl and it is available in different colors like the deep purple my mom likes. It makes her chair stand out and easy to spot. Really appreciate the fantastic customer service from HPFY who called to confirm my custom order before shipping and followed up to make sure it arrived safely. They are one of the few companies that have set reasonable shipping rates to those of us living way out here in Hawaii. I look forward to my next purchase from them.” That’s quite an accolade!!
